Dear brothers and sisters,

Merry Christmas!

Emmanuel - God is with us - is the great message that we are celebrating. Indeed, far from being indifferent or unconcerned, God became man and dwelt among us in Jesus. Every aspect of our human life matters to Him. Let us enter into this sacred reality - the Nativity of Christ - and make our hearts a manger of love for our Lord and a beacon of hope for those around us suffering from violence, unwantedness and sins.

May Jesus – Prince of Peace - strengthen our trust that the power of good overcomes evil, forgiveness overcomes hatred, and faith overcomes fear. May the Lord illuminate our families, nation, and the world with the light of his love and truth.
